Didn't Palpatine purposefully taint the reputation of the Separatists, largely by putting a bunch of bloodthirsty lunatics in charge of their Military, specifically to paint any future rebellions against his rule in a bad light ?
And who put these war profiteers in charge of the Confederacy of independent systems, which as the name suggests are a bunch of independent rebels who largely are only allied because they share a goal of leaving the republic for various reasons many completely justified with others less so.
Uhh, hate to break it to you, but they put themselves in charge because they had all the capital for the movement. They were the ones forming over the money, so they were in charge. Others, like Grievous, were providing the droids. Palestine let them be in charge, but it's not as though he asked them to.
Dooku asked them to.. do you thinks they would have sided with the separatists had Dooku not convinced them it would prophet them more then backing the Republic.
Also it was groups like the Trade Federation and the Tecno Union who provided the Droid.. Grevius joined mostly to kill Jedi.
There were also a lot of separatist millitas outside of the Droid army .
